Grief is the Thing with Feathers by Max Porter
3.0
'I've drawn her unpicked, ribs splayed stretched like a xylophone with the dead birds playing tunes on her bones.'
An incredibly strange, short read; 3 perspectives, 3 stars.
Half of the book was stunning, dark and metaphorical poetry, inspired heavily by Ted Hughes, but the other half was incredibly simple and stupid. Such a shame to have such a promising book compromised. With heavier and more effective editing this could've absolutely been an instant classic. Still worth a read though!
'I remember a story about an Irish warrior who killed his son by mistake but when he realised he didn't mind that much because it served the son right.'
